Hacienda Piman

Stunning Hacienda Piman is a historic retreat located in Ecuador's northern Andes. A former colonial and Republic country manor, Hacienda Piman has recently been restored to its original beauty by the Zaldumbide family. The Zaldumbide family has owned the hotel since its creation in the 17th century. The hotel's green valley location makes it an oasis of Ecuadorian history nestled among the mountains.

The style of Hacienda Piman is reminiscent of the country manor houses of southern Colombia or Venezuela and features an external patio which runs around the outside walls. 17 guest rooms marry old and new Ecuador and are the perfect blend of traditional and modern. Rooms feature stone walls, exposed brick, antique decorations and colorful paintings.

Hacienda Piman serves a vast array of home-style dishes, using Ecuador's variety of ingredients to create traditional cuisine of the Ecuadorian Andes. The hotel is also willing to share its recipes, enabling guests to return home with the ability to make their favorite meals.

We Love to Talk Travel

The trip might have been the absolute best of our lifetime (thus far). We particularly want to commend our guide Peter in the Guilin area-he was so incredibly attentive, energetic, enthusiastic-and absolutely dedicated to ensuring that our meals were 100% vegetarian.
